Looking through the kernel, it seems that we've got there main
approaches to vibrator control - sysfs with a "speed" attribute, an
input device using the force feedback ioctls or something that's plumbed
through the sound codec. While the absence of any consistency here is
obviously a problem, I'd prefer not to add a fourth - can you at least
make the sysfs attribute "speed" (with it accepting only 0 and 1 if you
don't have any way to control the hardware beyond on and off) so it's
compatible with one of the existing implementations?

Can't you do this at probe time?

Is there any significance to 0xAD and 0x14? Is this register specific to
the vibrator?
Otherwise, looks good.
